mircea_popescu: i dunno how this "retirement vehicle" thing became popular (i could guess) ; but it's evident.
BingoBoingo: Retirement vehicle is a different kind of poverty than trailer park. Trailer park trailer is not mobile denotes still greater poverty.
shinohai: Trailer park trailers can't drive away when you make sulfur gas clouds feed into the ventilation system either! :D
asciilifeform: 'vehicle' is a stretch, they're ~shippingcontainer
BingoBoingo: Most common use of retirement vehicle I remember from old country is where the fail kids live in their Baby boomer parent's yards.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In my part of old country retirement vehicle is typically malformed bus. Trailer park trailer is the shipping container shanty.
shinohai: Rolling RV meth labs are a close second.
BingoBoingo: Eh, the pop bottle method shrank many of the mobile ones to shitty gm go karts producing for personal use
